I'm doing Asami.
I've never been to a gathering before!
Are they usually held inside or outside the con?
(I have some friends that are cosplaying as korra and bolin, but they couldn't get tickets. We were hoping to Korra it on up extracurricularly.)

[spunkyK101]

*fingers crossed* I'll be going as Asami both days. Hope I can get the costume done on time. :P

I'm not sure yet. The spot where I always do the gathering has been used for something else these past few years. I'll check out some places (both inside and outside) for the cosplay gathering. Keep checking up on this to see what's up

[ilovemystrat]

Count me in!

Anyone up for outing into the GasLamp afterwords?

[sadistic-otaku]

I'll be there as Amon on Friday!

[Temperance]

Ohhhh I'd love to join on a meet or two. I'm working on Toph right now ^_^

[JuHua]

Might go as asami if I can get the wig in on time...

[LittleKagsin]

Hnn, I wish I could join you guys! I feel so weird, it's the first SDCC that I won't be wearing Appa. I'll keep an eye out and hope to see everyone!

[Lolligag-love]

I'll be Korra if I can make it! I have some other things to do around the same time, so I'll se what I can do!

[Irish Panda]

I will be attending at Bolin on Friday and Saturday!

And what's this cosplay contest on Saturday at the fan panel? Do we have to sign up ahead of time, or just show up to the panel?
